We Did It!

Yep, we are officially wed. More details and pictures soon!

I Can Has Cheezburger - one of my favorite sites - has hosted a few marriage proposals in the past few years. On Valentines Day in 2008 they ran a series of LOLcat images so Jon could pop the question to Loretta.

I Love Google

Naked Wedding. Enjoy:

Oh yes, there are photos...

What Have I Been Up To?

So I have completely slacked on posting because, well, it took a back seat to the actual planning of the wedding. But today's a good day:

-We get married 1 month from today (almost to the hour)
-The bridesmaid dresses came in today
-My last fitting was today
-And my mother's dress is in as are all the tux measurements

So, basically, we all get to wear clothes at the wedding!

Sweet.

I Waited My Whole Life

Grover and Love

Hold the Phone, Dora!

I can have a crayon ring?!

Yep, these are available from The Future Perfect; $50 for a set.

Sigh

There is so much to love about this shot:

Mostly I like the very honest look at how I assume Neil and I will feel at the end of the day. Also I find the first couple completely adorable.


Found at The White Aisle.

Not Quite Sure That's Why I'm Doing It...

Inside: Hello to becoming the Mrs.

Perhaps not the most romantic explanation as to why you would get engaged, but still pretty great. I especially the simplicity of it.

This, and many more, available at Naughty Betty.

Awesome. Period.

I don't know whether to post on this or run right out and buy it for my future husband:



Yep, coordinating First Family pillow cases. From a collaboration between Calvin Klein, artist Jonathan Horowitz and the Art Production Fund, the fund, produced Horowitz’s Pillow Talk Cases, featuring rotating pairs of white Calvin Klein pillowcases silk-screened with names of über-famous couples.

A limited edition of the pillow cases are on sale at the store, as well as at P.S.1 and the fund’s Web site. All proceeds will benefit the fund.

Jackpot!

Yes; a way to include martinis in our wedding day (and still remember it)!

Okay, so I know the idea of serving a small course in a martini glass is nothing new, but for a gal know for her signature drink (dirty martini) this would be soooo cute! Extra points if the course can involve olives...

Except My Fiance Would Eat Them

Yep, those are save the date cookies! Awesome!

These are from The Flour Pot, a bakery in Ambler PA and - while I see that an edible save the date rather defeats the purpose - I still think these look super duper neat.

They go for $5.50 a cookie and can be customized to match your wedding colors.

I Also Love the Duckies

The Frenchie and I just spent out third Valentine's together and, as has become tradition, it involved sushi.

So, in that vein, please enjoy this sushi wedding cake:

According to the designer, the bulk of this "cake" is apparently made up of sushi rice (sturdy enough to form stable rounds). Regular cake pans were used for molds onto which was added huge quantities of salmon, yellowtail and ahi, each placed carefully in the bottom of each cake pan.

You can see a recipe for the cake along with the photos of the finished product here.

Found on SlashFood.

Insert Gasp

Custom dyed crinoline?!


Yep! You can have your crinoline custom dyed to your favorite color through Etsy! It's only $25 and pretty awesome.

That's right, hot pink here I come...

I Love You More Than Blank

What a wonderful site! I Love You More Than Blank is a collection of submissions that finishes that beautiful sentence.

As someone who is constantly asking her Frenchie "Do you love me more than __________?" this may just be my new favorite page.

What would you add?

Here are mine:
I love you more than my kitty's fuzzy feet.
I love you more than wool socks straight from the dryer.
I love you more than Cool Whip straight from the can.
